Best shoes for cushioning?

I have used the Barricades and thought they were horrible, so tried the Head Radical Pro because of their reviews but dont think they are that much better. The one pair I have used that worked pretty well were the Prince T10s but they are hard to find so wonder if you guys have experienced any that are excellent for cushioning?

Another opinion: Nike Breathe 2K10 are not comfortable at all. Neither are the Air Court Del Mar. They may do other things, but cushioning is definitely not one of them. For best cushioning, I'd recommend Adidas Forest Hills, or Stan Smith or Tennis Comfort.

the cushion on the asics gel resolution 2s and new balance 900ds is incredibly excellent. but be warned that you pay the price of durability for that extra cushioning. if the courtballistec 2.3s fit you then i would go with those because they strike a great balance between performance, support, and comfortability.

I found the ASICS Gel Res 2s provide great cushioning for a performance shoe. I also benefit from wearing Thorlos socks. Great combo.

the ASICS Gel Res 2's are by far the most comfortable shoe ive owned, as far as durability...not so much, could easily go threw 2-4pairs a season... barricades i also loved, not as comfortable as the ag2s, but far exceed the ag2s when it comes to life time

I'm pretty light in weight, but have a busted hip and need a heavily cushioned shoe to even step foot on a tennis court. I tried the Radical Pro like the OP did, but it didn't fit well with an orthotic insert. I tried a Wilson model that I liked, but settled on the Prince Scream 3 because of the better fit with the orthotic. I like this shoe a lot...it's heavy, even for a court shoe, but seriously cushioned and very durable. 2 hours to break it in and you're good for months. Give it a try.

What are you talking about? LL Vapor was probably the worst Vapor ever made! That crappy LunarLite foam goes dead after 1 month at the latest, and loses its cushioning! Totally unstable, and the list goes on and on.

To the OP - Vapor VI. Zoom Air cushioning can't be beat. Also very stable for all around support and even better cushioning.
But those can't be found anymore unless you hunt them down. Another great alternative is the Nike 2k10s or 2k11s. Based off the Vapor VI, but replaced Flywire with Drag-ON.

I like the Vapor 8s for cushioning... but it's only been a few weeks. And they've been great to me in every way.

I could disagree about what you say and you would be angry because its my opinion in what shoe i think has good cushioning right. Your not going to get a golden star for the best opinion so just relax.

Asics gel challenger very comfortable right out of the box.
Great cushioning as well, and very light.

A couple of years ago i used to wear asics sport shoes for tennis and then once i bought adidas barricades it was so much better. Now asics have developed better court and running shoes. Are the ones you bought 80% court and 20% running. Thats a good combination for the perfect movement on court. They also have good designs.

I'm finding the Head Speed Pro to have excellent cushioning in the heel and forefoot without feeling "squishy". I sometimes feel pain under the ball of my left foot after a few sets but the last few matches with the Speed Pro (stock insoles) have been mostly pain-free. Check out the reviews here:
